Earthquake nucleation and foreshocks

Project Details

Description

How do large earthquakes nucleate? Is this a stochastic or deterministic process? What can foreshocks tell us about this?

Layman's description

What triggers large earthquakes? Does one earthquake trigger another random earthquake or are there physical things going on that cause the observed pattern of earthquakes? Can smaller earthquakes that happen before bigger ones help us answer these questions?
